Should I check my Chevrolet Tahoe motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Tahoe’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Chevrolet oil on my own?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
